THE DONKEYS JOURNEY

THE DONKEYS JOURNEY

Notes
1 I wonder how the donkey felt travelling along
On his way (Eey-ore) to Bethlehem
2 I wonder if the donkey was as stubborn as a mule
On his way (Eey-ore) to Bethlehem
3) I wonder if the donkey ever stopped to have a rest
On his way (Eey-ore) to Bethlehem
4) I wonder if the donkey knew he car-ried the Lord
On his way (Eey-ore) to Bethlehem
5 I wonder if the donkey saw the baby Jesus born
In the stable in Bethlehem

ALL CHILDREN SING : AWAY IN A MANGER (Mary cradles baby

Jesus and then lays him in the manger, and the shepherds go to stable
before the end of this song)
Away in a manger, no crib for a bed,
The little Lord Jesus lay down His sweet head.
The stars in the bright sky looked down where He lay,
The little lord Jesus asleep on the hay.
The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes
But little Lord Jesus, no crying He makes.
I love Thee, Lord Jesus, look down from the sky.
And stay by my side till morning is nigh.
